Is anyone doing ipad magazine development. E.g. like the likes of wired magazinne etc. I can find plenty of off-the-shelve apps like woodwing etc. But does anyone have example code on how things are done. Like to know especially how the self-contained magazine is done.
To me that just looks like a normal HTML document that’s been designed to give it a magazine look and feel, so I don’t “get” what you’re trying to attempt.
My idea is to do something similar to wired magazine etc. I have seen the third party applications they use, but is there any direct code example around that shows how it is done.
As a idea at the moment, the problem is third party apps like woodwing cost a few dollars to get past the trial period.
There must be people hand coding a magazine ipad based app.
Yes it seems its just a html 5 document, but how do you package it as a self contained app, that can work on the ipad, and some off the funky other features.
Below are some youtube examples of what the time group have done. I have not found any code examples on howto create a ipad magazine except commercial applications
Well if you wanted to make an iPad app you would need to use a Mac and pay for the developers API (to build it: self-contained), then submit it to Apple for entry.
Otherwise your best bet is to simply create that style of website and just offer it as a web application (so it’ll act as the simple website it appears to be).
